An Ex-Executioner's Little show.

A correspondent writes: Binns, the ex-
hangman, is travelling with a show, in which
he reveals his art for the entertainment of
the large crowds who collect to see him per-
form the happy dispatch. The subject is a
figure representing Mrs. Berry, the Oldham
poisoner, and the entertainment is now at
Stockport, in Cheshire. The Snowman, a
young nlan, first gives a biographical sketch
of Binns, then the curtain is rung up, reveal
ing a scaffold with the regular cross beam,
and the subject standing on the drop strapped
hands and feet. A surpliced chaplain stands
on one hand and a uniformed Jail governor
on the other, while two reporters, or individ-
uals to represent them, watch the grim pro-
oeedings. Binns, black bag in hand, steps
forward, extracts the rope, places the moose
around the subjects neck, and when the feel
ing Of the spectators has been wrought to an
intense pitch, draws the bolt, and the wax
figure disappears into the pit beneath. Mr..
Binns then holds a levee-London Times.

REMARKS OF A PHYSICIAN.
A Cure for Chapped Lips and Al Study OF
the Cause of Wrinkles.

A Cure for Chapped Lips and IL Study of
the Cause of Wrinkles.
"As soon as the cold winds begin to blow
remarked IL physician, II am overrun with
patients suffering from chapped lips. The
trouble generally manifests itself in one wide
cut in the middle of the lip. l used to treat
such things as Il laughing matter and pre-
scribe some simple emollient, such as slvcrr-
inc, for instance. But l soon found that
such treatment was only IL temporary remedy,
for after partially healing the cut would open
Mt the slightest ~cxcrtion Of the lips. The
mere act of biting anything hard. laughing
or yawning would make the unfortunate
howl with pain. If the patient was addicted
to the use OF tobacco the chances were that
he would have a had lip all through the Win
ter. In my researches for n permanent cure
l ran across an old tramp printer who had
rubbed against the rough side of the world
all his life, and for whom every season had
been a cold day. He told me that il | invcs-
tigated the matter l would find that the pco-
pie addicted to chappel lips were in the habit
"t touching them with their tongues. \ sure
cure said he, is to keep your tongue in your
mouth. | have since followed his suggestion
III my practice and never knew it To fail. Tho
rough skin of the tongue scratches the lips,
and when they have once become chappel
the least contact is enough to keep the cut
open.
81 have recently been making Il study of
wrinkles. continued tho doctor. ut is Gus
tonary to say that wrinkles come from wor-
rying. but the truth is that most of them
come from laughing. This is rather para
doXical. | must admit, but have been only
convinced after the most careful invrstiga-
ton. To know how tn laugh is just as i'm
portant as to know when to do it. If you
laugh with the sides of your face the skin
will work loose in time and wrinkles will
form in exact accordaicc with what kind of
Il laugh you have. The man who always
wears II smirk will have Il series of sclmi-cir-
cular wrinkles covering his checks. When II
gambler, who has been accustomed to sup
pressing his feelings, laughs, n deep line
forms on each side of his nose and runs to the
upper corner of his mouth. In time this line
extends to the chin and assumes the shape of
n half NOON.
"a calavcrous l"lSon with n waSlikr skin
is very apt t" have two broadly marked
wrinkles, one running up from the jaw and
the other under tho eye. These meet at
right angles at the chcckbone and look as
though they formed Il knot at the apex. The
scholars wrinkles form on his brow, while
the schrming politicians come around his
eyes, where they look for all the world like
the spokrs of Il wheel. Some of the fat women
who bet on horses nave the most astonishing
crop OF wrinkles | ever saw outside of an eleN
plant. One i'll particular was so strongly
marked that whenever she smiled over Il big
win the wrinkles in each cheek would form
themselves i'll the >haltot IL perfect pretzel.-

SOLEMN CLOSING SERVICE.

The closing service, which begins Just be-
fore shutdown, is pitched in II still higher key
of solennity. Thesynagogue is then crowded
to its utmost. Those who have gone out dur
ing the day for ART is very wearisome sit
ting in Il crowded room for twelve hours; be-
sides, the effects Of the fast are beginning to
be felt-return encouraged by the knowledge
that the close of the service is near. The re-
sponses are louder. The rabbi ascends the
steps of the ark to close its doors, which
have been open all day. The whole congre-
CATION, standing, repeat the Shemang or He
brew declaration of faith: Here, oh, Isrnel,
the Lord our God is one" Then follows the
repetition of the peoples cry upon Mount
Carmel i'll Elijah'S time seven times: "fhe
Lord he is God" The doors of the ark are
closed and n single blast is blown upon q
rams horn, which dismisses the congregs-
ton. The article usei in the service which
probably comes the nearest in resemblance
to the one used in Jerusalem before the Jew
hung his harp upon the willows is this rams
horn. 1t is just such an instrument as that
which Joshua and his band blew upon when
the walls of Jericho fell. Some little skill is
required to blow it. 1t emits but ono note,
and that of Il peculiarly weird and mournfui

The iron boom in the South is
astonishing the whole country.
Capital is flowing from the North
into Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia
and other southern states in a
steady stream and the iron foun-
dries Of those states are selling
their products even in Pennsylva-
and New England This boom
may be expected to strike the iron
regions of East Texas at any time,
and it will benefit the whole state.
With immense iron foundries in
Cass, Marion, Morris, Upshur and
other East Texas counties there
will be better market for the hay,
corn, wheat, oats and other pro-
ducts of the rich agricultural lands
of Hunt and other North Texas
counties. The boom is coming
and it is only a matter of time as
to when it will be upon US in full
force. Other manufacturing In
dustries will also accompany this
great iron boom and the South
will soon cease to be dependent
upon the North May the good
day speedily dawn, is our earnest
wish.-Greenville Banner.

What True Merit VIII Do.

The unprecedented sale of b.
schee's German Syrup within a
few years, has astonished the world
1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure of
coughs, colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entire
ly different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by ply
sIcians, as it does not dry up a
cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves
them in purely healthy condition.
A bottle kept in the house for use
when the diseases make their APP
pearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness.
A trial will convince you of these
facts. 1t is positively sold by all

The Legislature should pass a
bill requiring the publication OF
the sale of property under execu-
ton, by deed of trust, etc, in the
county newspapers 1t is a well
known fact that at present all such
sales are advertised by three writ
ten notices posted in as many al
legged public places in the county.
Such notices are equivalent to no
notices at all and the result is that
on the sheriffs regular sale day
none are present save those who
are directly interested, and it fire.
quently happens that the party
whose property is advertised for
sale does not know anything about
it. Sales conducted IN this manner
work a gF5atEia1 injustice to both
creditor id debtors-where
property is sold under execution
and also to all others who haye,
property sold under legal process.
Nearly every state in the union,
especially the old states, have laws
requiring that all property sold
under legal process shall be adyer-
tised in some newspaper. In this
respect Texas is behind the times,
and those who have property sold
are the sufferers. Several attempts
have been made to have law
passed requiring all such sales to
be advertised, but through a lack
Of interest and false notion of

Penalties of the Strike.

The penalties of the famous
Missouri strike are well summar-
lied in the headlines of a three
column article in Anew York paper:
"Desolation, Misery, Ruin. The
Chapter of wretchedness that has
followed the Great Strike on the
Missouri Pacific. Lost Homes
and Broken Fortunes-The Train
of Men, Women and Children who
followed Martin Irons into Sorrow,
Idleness and Humiliation-A Very
Sad Story"
The results of the great strike
are, LIST: Of the 1900 workmen
who struck, less than 200 have
been taken back, and the places of
the others were filed. Secondly:
An immense amount OF suffering
has been undergone, and Is not
ended, by 10000 people directly.
and indirectly affected by the strike.
Thirdly: Martin Irons, who or
dered the strike, is practically an
outcast, as it were, among his own
former fellow workmen. Fourthly:
The Knights of Labor organiza-
ton has practically ceased to exist
among the employees of the Mis-
souri, Pacific system.
Before the workingman strikes,
let him not only be sure that he is
right bullet him actually be right;
and also let him take account of
the consequences. The strike
would then be rare.
